A grader or motor grader is heavy equipment accompanied by a long knife to level the surface or carry out the leveling process in a construction. Graders generally have three wheels which are accompanied by an engine as well as a cabin which is on the rear axle followed by a blade.
Graders are often used as maintenance of dirt roads as well as gravel roads. If it is used for asphalt roads, the usual grade is used to prepare the base so that the flat surface of the asphalt can be coated. In addition, the grader is used to form the foundation of the soil foundation.
Not only that, the grader function can make sloping surfaces for roads, make ditches and more. The latest grade grader incorporates control technology for precision grading and pile-free construction.

7 Important supporting equipment often used by Motor Graders
Front Blade
It is an object that is very much needed when doing sowing or spreading work.
Front Pull Hook
Will be installed on the front of the grader with its function to dance the material. There are two types of front pull hooks, namely Ushape Bracket Walded on Front Axle and Weight With Nails. If the equipment is mounted on the grader then the blade hook will be removed.
Push Plates
This component functions as a tree feller, besides that this tool can be used to push material that is trapped in the mud so that it requires more energy, which is as the name suggests Push Plate. What are graders. When functioning as a ballast, the push plate will do the job in a ripping manner to prevent the front wheel from being lifted.
Scarifier
This tool serves to dig hard materials such as asphalt or permafrost or any material that is difficult to dig using the blade. The number of teeth in this scarifier depends on the hardness of the material itself that the scarifier wants to dig into.
Extensions
Blades that use extensions can be extended on various sides of the blade either on one side or on the other. Work using extensions will be more efficient but extensions are used when doing light work only. What is Grader.
Hydraulic Blade Tip Control
The angle of cut of the blade can be adjusted hydraulically via the operator’s cab when the grader uses Hydaulic Blade Tip Control. What is Grader.
Rear Mounted Riper
This ripper functions to dig up hard materials, namely rocks or other minerals that cannot be done by a scarifier. Rear Mounted Ripper has stronger power to destroy materials that are difficult to break.
The following is a daily inspection checklist for graders that you should have.
